Personally, considering the somewhat aloofness and detachment displayed by his two predecessors, this is most refreshing to see. Let’s hope he...
I remember doing a zookeeper experience at Paignton in 2007. Mucking out the rhinos was part of it. I missed the birth by a week, so Sita was off...
If not earlier confirmed, the Mountain Chickens have produced 6 froglets.
The Aspinall parks were always good in this respect. Not so much nowadays. On a personal level, I’d like to see Douc return to the UK.
Excellent news, and relief! Considering Bhanu’s age, and his failure to dominate the previous lionesses, I thought it would never happen.
The impala were a very impressive batchelor group. They lasted significantly longer than the gazelles, which were intended to share the bongo...
I visited last August for the Titanosaur exhibition. All 5 specimens were present, though the hall was in a state of gradual disrepair. Apparently...
Should Onager ever return, based on their reputation I doubt they’ll be housed in Passage thru Asia. The last group, particularly the stallion,...
It’s April 1st, though the way this story has been developing I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an element of truth!
Glad to hear the Mountain Chicken frogs are finally on show. They need all the attention they can get: a 2023 survey found only 21 wild...
A ZSL-led Red List assessment has found that the population of north-eastern African cheetah (of which Whipsnade has 3 males) is now at high risk...
I’m assuming Lee Durrell only has limited influence now? Didn’t the zoo also use some of “The Durrells” cast as ambassadors? Personally, this...
Rather cheeky! A bit like saying “Yes, we have elephants, they’re in the guidebook…but they’re at our sister site!”
Considering how intrinsically linked Okapi are to ZSL and its history, I agree. I’d argue their one of London’s keystone species.
Any birth is a risk, and it’s interesting that Blackpool have chosen to announce the news in the manner that they have. Usually elephant...
Out of interest, does anyone know when Whipsnade were at peak capacity for their chimpanzee group. My knowledge includes the current individuals,...
For my part, a bit of “chimp nostalgia” ;) (Especially when you know that once this group are gone, they’re gone)
Further to the above post, I also visited Whipsnade today as part of a test event for Monkey Forest! It has a very “different” feel to any...
Sadly the only elephants you’ll find now, and moving forward, will be in the Gift Shop! At a push, I could possibly see rhino returning. As for...
Clearly elephant related, though why wait until Tuesday?
Separate names with a comma.
